The Maze runner

    The book "The Maze Runner" by James Dasher there are 3 major groups of important power that each add to the book. You have the creators, aka the evil or "wicked" people who have placed the gladers in the maze. Automatically by being on the outside world they have a huge advantage in power not only to mention that they also have the power to control everything in the maze. With one single touch these people can kill everyone,  start a famine,  create a drought,  and do just about anything they please to the people in the maze giving them complete power. Up against them are the people in the maze, also known as the gladers. 
          Although within their community they have all different levels of power depending on the person, they as a group come together to create a strong enough power to go against not only the creator's but also the maze. Although it may seem like a maze wouldn't have power in a book it definitely plays a part in this one. The maze is what controls who comes in and out of the maze. It has the power to kill, banish, and creates the main story line of the book. These 3 groups and how they fight and resist is what makes up the story and without it there would be no book.
        The main theme of power placed in this book connects with the world we live in on many different levels. Just like the gladers, we in our everyday lives have our own groups that contain people of different powers in our lives whether that be friend vs friend, school vs school, etc. Like the book we in our lives have a groups that not only have many different levels of power in it but also when together they create a power of their own. Although like the gladers we may all have our differences from the people in our communities we still come together as a team, as one when we need to go against a much larger force. Power and it's different levels not own play a large part in this book, but also play a huge role in our lives.
